Don't be clouded

Chapter 60

He bowed his head and accepted the criticism sincerely.

Xu Yang continued: "Master Guan Chen poured you the ecstasy potion, or did he have a handle on you? He made you disregard your health and business."

He hesitated to speak, glanced at Xu Yang's expression and quickly closed his mouth.

"I don't dare to forget the things you entrusted to me. Here, I made a copy for you." Xu Yang tidied up slowly, "But I don't dare to take credit for it. After all, it is my job to share the worries of the boss. But it is It’s just coming here to pick up people when it’s still dark, and it’s reasonable to not pick up people, and I’m not bored, isn’t there something I can copy?”

Ji Bieyun said in a low voice: "Brother Xu, I was wrong, your lord will spare me a lot this time..."

"Who's talking?" Xu Yang raised his eyes to look around the air, "How can I hear mosquitoes buzzing?"

He had no choice but to speak louder: "I went to the mountain to find monks to listen to the scriptures, and it was a sin to leave Brother Xu alone to copy the scriptures. I regret myself, and I wish to go to Xuanqing Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha in the future, and pray for Brother Xu to live a long life without disasters and illnesses." , you don’t have to be angry with your master in the future.”

After talking with his head down, the atmosphere in the car became even more stagnant.He raised his eyes and saw that Xu Yang was so angry that he pointed at him and was speechless for a while.

Ji Bieyun added without fear of death: "Maybe I have to trouble Brother Xu to make a few more copies."

The carriage was suddenly patted, and Qingshuang, who was driving the carriage in front of her, was so frightened that she stopped her horse, opened the curtain and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is our car broken down?"

He quietly gestured to Qingshuang with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just bumped my head accidentally."

Qingshuang should have caught a glimpse of his gesture of chasing people away, she quickly lowered the curtain of the car and fled the battlefield.

Ji Bieyun gave Xu Yang an apologetic smile, "I hit my head, it doesn't work well, brother Xu forgive me?"

Xu Yang had a cold face, and suddenly said: "You should go to the morning court after your rank has risen, forget?"

His eyelids twitched, and then he suddenly realized that he was now a third-rank military officer, and he had to get up early every day to go to court.

He suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the sky, the east was showing a fishy belly, it was almost Chen Shi, and it had been a long time since the time of going to court.

Too bad, is he about to be recruited and fined for salary?

"Sure enough, your brain is not working well." Xu Yang sneered, "You are still sick to the outside world, so you don't need to go to court, so you panic?"

Only then did Ji Bieyun come to his senses, and breathed a sigh of relief for his purse, "The salary is not much at all, if I get fined again, I won't even be able to pay your wages."

Xu Yang has been by Prince Xian's side for many years, if you talk about savings, he must be much richer than Ji Bieyun, a poor ghost.Coming to Ji Zhai to housekeeper for him is just out of the prince's order and a little friendship from the past, this salary is not enough for Xu Yang.

He also knows this, but he just wants to say it sourly.

Sure enough, Xu Yang's complexion improved a lot, and he handed him the two completed complaints, "Tell me, how did you plan?"

Ji Bieyun took it over, and replied: "What else can I do? If the emperor doesn't want to take over, I'll go find someone else. If the emperor doesn't want to deal with Yushitai, I'll go and find someone else."

"Wait a minute. Although the general of Zhen Guo is domineering, Yu Shitai has always had a good reputation in Beijing. Besides, they have so many officials in their hands. If they don't really turn their faces, who would want to be an enemy of Yu Shitai?" Xu Yang Some doubts, "Even if the prime minister is unwilling, he has always done things in a stable manner, and he will not take the initiative to take action unless the country is in danger."

With his hands in his sleeves, Ji Bieyun secretly squeezed a page of letter paper tightly.

He found it in his sleeve on the way down the mountain. He took a rough look at it through the lights of passing pilgrims, and there was Guanchen's handwriting on it.

——I know that you want to enter the door of the Xiangfu, but this move is too passive, and I am afraid that the Fangxiang faction will use this to threaten you to take refuge.If you don't go to the Ministry of Punishments to sue, one will publicize the responsibility of Yushitai, and the other will be the prime minister's initiative to recruit, and you will have room for it.It's just that this move is risky, and more precautions must be taken against the party of the emperor and the general of the town.good luck.

These words should have been written down by Guan Chen and put into his sleeve last night when he was sleeping soundly.

...is too good for him.

Ji Bieyun secretly sighed, and then thought that Guanchen should know a lot of inside stories about the court.

Even Xu Yang, who was with Prince Xian, thought that the prime minister would not care about this matter, but the monk didn't say that, as if the prime minister desperately wanted to bring down Yushitai.

And Guan Chen could easily guess his plan.

Ji Bieyun really planned to go to the prime minister privately before, and the prime minister has a good reputation, which makes people feel that he will not participate in any party disputes.However, he can give the prime minister a chance to severely injure Wan Liangao, and he doesn't believe that the prime minister will turn a blind eye.

However, as Guan Chen said, this move would put him in a passive position.Because it is he, not the prime minister, who is eager to spread the matter of Chongzhou in broad daylight, and perhaps he will face many conditions and threats.

Guan Chen knew that he was unwilling to take refuge in any side, so he offered another way.

Although he didn't know why the prime minister would take the initiative to recruit him as long as he went to the Ministry of Punishment, Ji Bieyun still believed it.

He handed the real complaint to Xu Yang, "Take this one back to the mansion, and keep it well. It not only has the handwriting of the people on it, but also their fingerprints. It is always different from the fake one, so you have to be careful to save it until the end." critical moment."

Xu Yang asked: "Then what are you going to do with this fake one?"

He leaned back and replied: "As soon as the morning is over, I will go to the punishment department."

"The Ministry of Punishment?" Xu Yang questioned, "The Ministry of Punishment does not belong to the power of the Great General Zhen Guo. Even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is obsessed with his position, and no one flatters or hates anyone. Even the servant under him is the same. Didn’t you see it during the interrogation of the judges, who practiced the doctrine of the mean but was always afraid of taking responsibility, and looked useless.”

In fact, Ji Bieyun also had this concern, and he couldn't help worrying when he thought of the criminal department's behavior style.

He was a little confused about Guanchen's meaning. Could it be that the Ministry of Punishment was actually involved with the prime minister?Why didn't he hear about it, Fang Muzhi didn't mention it, and even Xu Yang didn't know about it?

The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, Ji Bieyun simply stopped worrying about it, and he believed in Guanchen.

"Yes, it is the Ministry of Punishment." He affirmed, "I hope to wait for the news."

I hope the prime minister will really take the initiative to come to him.

The more Xu Yang listened, the more confused he became, "What news are you waiting for?"

It was not easy for him to answer, so he could only say with a heavy heart: "Good news."

**

After Ji Bieyun returned to the mansion, he called Dai Fengmao over from the camp. With more people and more aura, it would be more deterrent to go to the Ministry of Punishment.

However, when he saw Dai Fengmao, he was taken aback.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" He circled around Deputy Captain Dai curiously. He used to be able to support two thick bodies of him, but after a few days he was so thin that he was only one and a half thick.

Dai Fengmao had an indescribable expression, "That Zhuo Anping...is too difficult to manage."

Ji Bieyun got a headache when he heard the name, and his expression became indescribable. He asked, "Didn't you say that you can properly teach yourself a lesson? You have led soldiers before anyway, how did you end up like this?"

Deputy Captain Dai waved his hands, as if he didn't want to think about it, "Forget it, let's talk about this later, what's the matter with the boss calling me?"

He turned around and entered the room, took off the light armor on the hanger, and replied, "Come with me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to file a complaint."

"You..." Deputy Captain Dai couldn't figure it out for a while, "Are you suing Yushitai? Will His Majesty be angry if he knows?"

Ji Bieyun put on the breastplate and began to put on the armguards, while saying, "It's been almost three days since I returned to the palace. Your Majesty promised to investigate the crimes committed by the governor of Chongzhou and Changshi. Is there any news now?" Yet?"

"...No." Dai Fengmao looked a little downcast.

"Emperor Yuan Hui will be angry sooner or later. In short, I will not let the Chongzhou case go. At that time, the truth of the Chongzhou case will be presented to the world. They will say that I have made meritorious service." He put on a set of silver light armor, picked up the petition on the table and walked out.

Dai Fengmao followed behind him, and said again: "But the emperor wants to punish you, so there is no need for such a crime, and he can demote you by finding any fault at will."

"Then at least we have to wait for this turmoil to subside. There is a big problem at Yushitai, and it will take a year and a half to subside." Ji Bieyun sneered, and finally lowered his voice, "Enough."

Although Deputy Captain Dai thought it made sense, he was still a little worried.Even if the emperor can't pursue it, what about Yushitai?What about General Zhen Guo?

However, without allowing him to think too much, they quickly walked to the door, Ji Bieyun stepped on the horse first, and looked down at him.

Seemingly seeing his hesitation, he opened his mouth and said, "Have all the rewards arrived, brothers?"

Dai Fengmao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "I got it all. The imperial edict read out by the palace guards in front of the entire right guard is really proud this time. Brothers all asked me to say thank you."

"Thank you? Then you still treat me as an outsider." He bent down, his expression became more serious, "Since you followed me and won the reward this time, are you afraid that there will be no future?"

Dai Fengmao was enlightened in an instant.

From the very beginning when they heard that there was a boy who would come out of Deng Que to lead the army, more than 100 of them resisted.Later, they were subdued by Ji Bieyun, and their resistance eased a little. Later, they negligently let Cai Han go, Ji Bieyun didn't blame him at all, instead he led them to make amends.After that, he went to Chongzhou again, made meritorious service and won a reward.

He himself has completely trusted the boy.

Dai Fengmao didn't hesitate any longer and got on his horse.

The two light horses drove all the way to the Criminal Department, and finally stopped outside the gate of the Criminal Department.

After announcing his name, Qu Xingwen, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, led a group of people to welcome him out, and the scene was quite grand.

Ji Bieyun was unfazed by favors or humiliations, deliberately carrying the aura of a young general.

The last time this servant met him was at Dali Temple, and after Cai Han was robbed, he even tricked Ji Bieyun.Instead of telling him the news first, he was the first to report it to the palace.

Although he remembered this matter, he didn't intend to care about it, and greeted people politely.

This time, the other party respectfully called him "General" and led him inside with a stiff smile.

"I don't know why the general came to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Ji Bieyun smiled much more easily, and stood still in front of the main hall, so a group of people also stopped.The servant of the criminal department turned around and looked at him with a weird expression, as if he guessed something bad would happen.

He replied frankly: "I want to sue Chongzhou governor and Changshi for harming the people, and Yushitai didn't report what he knew about it, and helped the tyrant to abuse the people."

Everyone froze in place, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and Ji Bieyun even heard Dai Fengmao swallowing saliva behind him.

With his left hand behind his back, he held up the complaint with his right hand, and when he loosened it a little bit, a section fell down, and the black and white words appeared before everyone's eyes.Many officials of the Ministry of Punishment came forward, especially Qu Xingwen, who squinted his eyes and looked carefully despite his sad face.

When the assistant minister of the Ministry of Punishments had read the text almost, Ji Bieyun asked: "The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of laws and criminal laws. Are you going to take this case now?"

He looked at Qu Xingwen, but found that the other party was afraid to look at him with his head down and his forehead, and he was still muttering something in a low voice: "I have done good deeds all my life, how can I pick up a hot potato..."
